Jukka Murtosaari's cover for a Ralph Vaughan book


I received today a letter from my friend and Pulp's regular contributor, Jukka Murtosaari, who tries to make a living as an illustrator in Portugal, of all countries! He's even tried to push his work to the American publishers, Hard Case Crime and such. As a pulp illustration connoisseur, he'd be exactly what they want.

Here's his only - so far only - American cover. It's for Ralph E. Vaughan's Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu pastiche for Gryphon Books. This is only the sketch and it's from a black & white copy Jukka sent me.

In the meantime, Jukka is doing illustrations for the Finnish publishers.
